Home at last! Poochi-Cabezon - W. Highland White Terrier Westie American Eskimo Dog from #Chicago #IL is home safe & sound. Message: "The person who had him let him go near Pulaski and 26th street. CACC found him there and called us to let us know they had him." Missing 05/08/2018. Reunited 05/14/2018. Welcome home Poochi-Cabezon!
*** Testimonial From Jessica ***
The picture posted by Lost Dogs Illinois of my dog was shared over 100 times. I believe that the person who had him must've seen it and that is why they decided to let him go. So incredibly appreciative to everyone who shared my dogs picture and to the Lost Dogs Illinois for acting so quickly after I registered him as lost.
